cuRIosITrEs OF THE LATE WAR.


Our statement that three OF the five
men who saved the union were Of
southern birth is met by another curl
osity. A celebrated northern man
writing TO us says: "You call atten-
ton TO the fact that the deadliest enc
mics TO the south in that war were Of
southern birth. There are Others
equally curious. The southern states
that went out ostensibly on state rights
resolved themselves into a sort of mill
tary despotism, with its head at Rich
mond, while the northern states, OPP
posed to state rights, fought the war
governors Of states. Again, we Yanks
were supposed TO be paritans. The
three puritans who did us the most
mischief are Lee, Jackson, and Davis"
There is an element Of truth in this.
The real history of the war is yet To
be written.--AnnistoH { Aia.)H OF Blast.

The wind storm last Wednesday even
ing did great deal of damage in the
northern part of this county. especially in
the towns of Burnett, Chester and Will
Jamestown; in the latter town hardly a
barn was left uninjured, and in the city
of Mayville much damage was done to
buildings. On the Horizon marsh not a
stack of hay of the hundreds gathered
there during the last month or two was
left standing, tents aud wagons were
badly damaged and a span OF horses
killed.
Hon. Frank johnson, of Chester, an
old and weIl-known resident of the coun-
ty, who represented this district in the
legislature in 1872, was instantly killed
during the storm. On his way home
from Waupun he was overtaken by the
storm and sought shelter under his sheep
shed, where it is supposed flying board
must have hit him, as the only mark on
his body was black spot on one of his
temples.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.

Ed JEFFERSON Co. UNION.-I have
seen a copy of letter from Mr.. George
Esterly. of Whitewater, which appears
in a recent number of the Inter Ocean,
complaining that the decision of the
Commissioner is in conflict with the Inter
State Commerce act and the intention of
Congress, wherein they hold that travel
ing agents should receive mileage tickle
at no less rate than any other person,
notwithstanding it is perfectly apparent
that the circumstances and conditions"
are, AS matter of fact, entirely dissimilar.
Mr. Esterly believes, no doubt, as [ do,
that the act referred to is the most ex-
pensive farce that ever found a place in
our Statute books.
IF he will turn to the debates, while
the bill was under consideration, he will
find that Congress had no intention on
the subject. Mol you must not blame
the Commission. 1t is not to be expected
this Commission is conversant with COM
MERGE trade or traffic, and any effort on
their part to reconcile the provisions of
the law, with any known principle which
has heretofore governed business men or
common carriers, will prove an utter
failure. Mr.. Esterly very clearly shows
how absurd it is to compel the carrying
of a passenger twenty miles at the same
rate per mile, or only once IN a year, that
would he charged for one wko travelled
constantly upon the road and is engaged
in working up business from which the
company derives profit, or that a basket
of eggs should be shipped from point to
point on the same train, with thousand
ponnas OF cheese, every other day. Large
shippers deal with a great number fpeo-
pie, all of whom share in their low rates
of transportation, and the whole country
is he Gifted by bringing the market so
much nearer TO our door.
We might as we'll say that a retail
dealer should furnish his wares at whole
sale rates and use no discrimination what
ever
mol Mr.. Esterly, you are wrong in
charging these gross inconsistencies npon
the Commission The mischief is en-
bodied in the law itself and it can not
be explained awav or reconciled with the
laws of trade that have so long governed
every civilized country, nor with sense,
reason or Justice.
The law was received in the interests
of the railroad companies, but mangled
and rendered meaningless to them, and
they have been obliged to add about
twenty per cent to their rates, as whole,
to protect them from loss which may re-
suit as the legitimate fruits of such legis-
lqtion. In other words, they will do the
carrying business of the country all the
same, but they will make the producers,
manufacturers and shippers pay the
Costs
The law was passed at the clamor of a
restless element in the country, who
alone, gave an expression, and unfortu-
nately are held responsible for it.
What the shippers and producers really
wanted is a tariff as near uniform as pos
sible, settled upon competition and the
laws of trade; the more of either the bet
ter But this law has made a common
mixture of the whole business, unsettled
every thing, while a general paralysis is
taking place all over the country.
